Great Video. One of the reasons I brought the D800 was for the video function but I haven't got on with it at all.
My main problem is focusing, I just can't see the live view screen to focus properly so any advice on videoing would be helpful.
What lens was this shot on?

The awful live view screen is one of the failings of the otherwise impressive D800. I'd suggest the Zacuto EVF and Z-Finder or SmallHD DP4 or DP6 (all with focus peaking) to solve manual focus problems. I'd've gone that route myself if it wasn't for the poor high ISO low light video performance of the D800. Amazing camera otherwise.

Interesting video...reminded me of a song about thrity years ago entitled "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" where they repeated the line 43 times in the song. An effective way to present one's message about love. Aber, konnen Sie English sprechen?
